After definition — Unbeing

There is a world where nothing is fixed. Not the laws. Not the names. Not the boundaries between one thing and another. In this world, gravity is a suggestion. Death is a mood. The colour blue can be redefined by anyone who has the will and a sharp enough imagination. A man can die on a Thursday, and by Friday his widow can decide that "death" now means "a long walk in a garden that has no gate," and he will return to finish the soup she left on the stove. A child can decide that "school" means "a cloud that only rains on weekends," and the building will float away until Monday, carrying the teachers with it, and no one will ask questions because questions themselves can be redefined as answers that have not yet decided what they know. Everyone redefines reality as easily as breathing. The rich change themselves daily—new face, new past, new gravity. The poor cling to a handful of stable definitions just to remember who they were when they woke up. Cities rename themselves every hour by public vote. Wars are fought not with weapons but with dictionaries. The Anti-Semantic War, they say, ended when one side redefined "victory" to mean "surrender," and by the time anyone noticed, it was already history. This is not paradise. When everything can be rewritten, nothing is ever fully real. A promise made today dissolves tomorrow when "tomorrow" is redefined as "a shape that cannot fit promises." Love is exhausting because the word changes taste every afternoon. Truth is a fashion. Memory is guesswork. And somewhere beneath all this, a question sleeps that no one dares wake: If everything can be redefined, what is the definition of definition itself? Cindral had never trusted a world that could change its memories. When the past was rewritten as casually as the weather, what was a man but a rumour his own history could no longer confirm? He did not seek power. He did not want to reshape the rules. He wanted to know if there was any rule that did not answer to a vote. So when word reached him of an old vendor in the secondhand markets selling definitions too ancient to be altered, Cindral went. Not from ambition. From hunger—for something that would still be true tomorrow. The answer waits in a dusty corner of that market, where a vendor whose age shifts with the minute hand sells used definitions discarded by those who have moved on to newer models. Cindral will touch the one definition that was never meant to be touched: the definition of definition itself. That touch will reveal the thread. The thread runs through everything. It ties every word to every thing, every thing to every mind, every mind to every story, and every story to something above. Cindral will follow it upward through layers of narration that make his universe look like a footnote in a book no one remembers writing. He will climb until climbing breaks. He will define until definition breaks. He will be until being breaks. What waits at the end cannot be called a god, because gods require names, and names require someone to speak them. What waits predates the need to be named. And it is not the top. There is no top. The thread does not end; it only changes direction—cutting sideways through hierarchies, through echoes without a source, through hollows where silence is not empty but full of the absence of sound waiting to be born. This is the story of that climb. It begins in a world where anyone can rewrite the rules, and it ends where the word "rule" has never been spoken, never been needed, never been possible. Somewhere in between, a man discovers that he is a sentence inside a story inside a dream inside a definition that defines itself. The thread is already in your hand. Cindral's ascent begins now.

StarLains Rebellion

Virel-9 is a forgotten scrap world buried on the edge of the Outer Fringe — a planet where broken starships, rusted cities, and mountains of metal dunes stretch farther than the eye can see. Abandoned by wealth, ignored by power, and barely maintained by the oppressive Primordial Water Space Police (PWSP), Virel-9 is a place where survival depends on grit, luck, and the family you choose. For four parentless teens — Kario, the tech-born prodigy; Vexa, the lunar-blooded Mooner with icy resolve; Juno, the razor-sharp scavenger with twin instincts to match; Sen, the towering, broad-hearted brawler — life has always meant the same thing: work the scrap, sell what you can, stay alive, and dream of leaving this world forever. Every night they walk across the Outer Scrap Dunes back to their makeshift shelter in the no man’s land far outside the main settlement — dreaming of one day earning enough to buy a starship and escape Virel-9. But that impossible dream ignites the moment a starship comes crashing from the sky. The pilot is Astrin Vaelos, a warrior of the legendary, supposedly mythical resistance—the ROPS (Rebels of Primordial Space)—and he’s carrying something stolen from the PWSP: a Primordial Core, capable of awakening supernatural arts in those chosen by the universe itself. When the PWSP arrives on-world to hunt Astrin, the teens save him, evade patrols, and help rebuild his ship beneath the cloak hidden deep in the dunes. In return, Astrin offers them the one thing they’ve never had — a way off Virel-9. They seize the chance. They touch the core. And one by one, their Primordial Arts stir awake — except Kario’s, whose potential lies hidden, deeper than the core can measure. Their escape sparks chaos, battles, and discoveries of power they don’t yet understand. On the ROPS fortress world, they enter brutal training, forge their unique Galaxyblades from compressed cosmic matter, and face trial after trial — from combat exams to rival recruits to enemies hunting them from beyond the stars.

Legend of the Blue Star (one)

Synopsis The solar system was never meant to be discovered. When an interstellar empire pierces the veil of an uncharted solar system, they expect resources, not resistance. What they find instead is a hidden world guarded by ancient laws, celestial beasts, and cultivators who should not exist so far beyond known space. At the heart of it all stands Gu Mian—a woman of extraordinary fate, raised within a powerful cultivation lineage yet unaware that her existence alone disrupts the balance of worlds. By her side is Gu Ruisheng, her steadfast protector and husband, whose blade was forged for war long before the stars noticed them. As portals tear open the skies and foreign armies descend, the battlefield becomes a collision point between science and cultivation, empire and eternity. Ancient seals weaken. Forgotten realms stir. And far above the chaos, an unseen presence watches—the World Consciousness, a being born with the universe itself. Detached, pure, and absolute, the World Consciousness has never interfered… until fate leads him to Ji Yueqing, a mortal woman whose soul carries truths even the universe has forgotten. Their meeting marks the beginning of a shift no god can ignore. War is only the opening act. As Gu Mian ascends toward divinity, secrets of origin, love, and destiny unravel. The universe must decide what survives when mortals challenge heaven, gods learn to love, and worlds refuse to remain silent. This is not just a story of cultivation. It is the story of creation remembering itself.

Reborn in 1958: From Famine Girl to Family Pillar

Rebirth + Era + 1960's - Femine + System Space + Military + Powerful Male protogonist At seventy-eight years old, she died with nothing but regret. Only at the end of her life did she learn the cruel truth— the world she had struggled through was nothing more than a novel. And she… was cannon fodder. Her father, once a Squad leader, was falsely branded a traitor and executed. Her three brilliant elder brothers were crushed one by one, stepping stones for the novel’s so-called “female lead.” Her family’s blood paved the road to the heroine’s glory. She could only watch helplessly as the heroine’s family prospered while hers was destroyed. Powerless. Broken. Too late. But fate was not finished with her. A falling flowerpot ended her life— and opened her eyes once more. 1958. She is thirteen years old again. Her parents are alive. Her brothers are alive. Everything has not yet begun. In the turbulent 1960s era, she awakens with memories of her previous life and an unexpected System Space that grants her resources and hidden advantages. This time, she will not be cannon fodder. She will not allow her family to be sacrificed. She will not let the so-called heroine step on their corpses to rise. Amid famine, political storms, and the shifting tides of the era, she quietly builds strength, gathers supplies within her mysterious space, and protects her family step by step. And standing in the shadows of the military compound is a powerful, sharp-eyed man— a future commander whose destiny was never meant to intertwine with hers. In her previous life, he stood at the peak of power. In this life, he watches her change everything. This time— She will become the author of her own fate. (Original) PS-: The Story is taking place in the parallel world, so although the historical events are same, characters are fiction.

Descendant Arising

'Return. Complete Convergence.' In the shadow of ecological collapse and corporate feudalism, bruised idealists chase meaning through time. At the heart of it all lies Convergence—a spatiotemporal juncture of uncertain proportions, humanity's last chance... or its final undoing. Blending the metaphysical resonance of Dune and The Hyperion Cantos with the haunting techno-mysticism of Blade Runner and Horizon: Zero Dawn, ABZU is a labyrinthine exploration of what it means to be human—where truth is mutable, the unknown sacred, and the price of transcendence, fathomless. New chapters on Tuesdays (day job and 'tism permitting—for sometimes I get "the sads") BEFORE YOU READ: ABZU is not a casual read; it’s a million-piece puzzle with no reference image. You’ll pick up pieces that don’t seem to fit, only to realise—chapters later—they were essential all along. This is a slow-burning work of British science fiction, written to be layered and cumulative rather than immediate. It rewards attention and trust, revealing its full shape only at the end. If that’s your kind of story, you're in the right place. Furthermore, by the nature of the story being a complex narrative in active development, consider each chapter a new iteration—the latest upload of a draft in flux. What you read today may shift, transform, or converge (pun intended) as ABZU moves toward its final form. Your patience and support through this creative process are deeply appreciated.
